Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty Liver Disease Fatty liver disease occurs when fat builds up in the liver cells and causes injury and inflammation in the liver. It can sometimes lead to severe liver damage, cirrhosis or even liver failure. Fatty liver disease is like alcoholic liver damage but is not caused by alcohol and can occur in people who drink little or no alcohol.   How is it Linked to Overweight ?   People who have diabetes or "pre-diabetes"  are more likely to have fatty liver disease that people without these conditions. People who are overweight are more likely to have diabetes.   It is not known why some people who are overweight or diabetic get fatty liver and others do not.   What Can Weight Loss Do?   Losing weight can help you control your blood sugar levels. It can also reduce the built up of fat in your liver and prevent further injury. People with fatty liver disease should avoid drinking alcohol.     Diabetes | Heart Disease | Cancer | Sleep Apnea | Osteoarthritis | Gallstones | Liver | Health Main Understanding Cancer | Healthy Heart
